THE SHOCKMASTER
|
Believe it or not , the picture above was not taken from some movie , it is
a actually a picture of a WCW wrestler. Put a fat guy in tight jean , add
a cape ,make him wear a spray-painted Star Wars Storm trooper helmet and
you have ....The Shockmaster ! As horrible the
Shockmaster costume was , it was his memorable entrance that made him
inducted in the wrestling's Hall Of Shame. 'Bad guys' Sid Vicious and the tag team known as Harlem Heat were set to take on Sting, Davey Boy Smith, and a mystery partner in a six-man tag match. As the hour drew close, it was time for the good guys to unveil their secret weapon. In one of the most amazing sequences in television history...we met the Shockmaster. |
| During an interview, Sting prepares to present their mystery partner to the bad guys. Sting's famous quote: 'All I have to say is...our partner is going to shock the world because...he is none other than...THE SHOCKMASTER! All of the sudden, the set begins glowing, and all heads turn right. What happens next will be the greatest thing you'll ever see. |
| Two torches are set ablaze, placed really poorly because it encouraged the cameraman to zoom in on this particular part of the set. That ultimately turned out to be the worst mistake of his life. Anyway, the Shockmaster was suppose to break through the wall for a grand entrance. But.... |
| THE SHOCKMASTERS TRIPS AND FALLS THROUGH THE WALL. In pro-wrestling's finest entrance ever, the guy portraying wrestling's first competitor with electric powers somehow manages to not only trip and fall, but trip and fall straight through the wall, flip flopping onto the floor like a fish out of water. A dead silence casts over the wrestling commentators. A dead silence casts over the audience. The only person who really knows what's going to happen next is the Shockmaster, and amazingly enough, he actually finds a way to top making his debut by crashing through a wall. |
| THE SHOCKMASTER LOSES HIS HELMET, REVEALING THAT HE'S NO SUPERNATURAL ENTITY AFTERALL!!!! In an unprecedented blooper, the Shockmaster manages to stumble so badly that his cheap Stormtrooper helmet flies two feet in front of him, thus revealing that the guy playing him was none other than Typhoon of WWF fame years prior! While the announcers scramble to come up with anything to say besides 'holy shit' or 'I quit', Shockmaster's doing a little scrambling of his own...to hide his true identity! |
| Thankfully,
Shockmaster manages to get his helmet back on. Unfortunately, one of
the rules in wrestling is that the show must go on ,as the
Shockmaster has to actually finish off this segment. As the Shockmaster
slowly makes his way over to the other wrestlers, desperately trying not
to pass out from the pain one feels after crashing face first through a
wall onto the floor. Meanwhile, the other guys are trying desperately
not to laugh. Some fail, including the announcers. To make matters even
worse, the script called for Shockmaster to verbally threaten the bad
guys, who at this point look like they just watched an entire show of The
Three Stooges . Graciously, the story ends here. Shockmaster didn't last very long after his debut. |
